I'm in the market for a basic trailcam. I do not need anything with all the bells and whistles, which is good because I'm on a budget. I'm simply wanting something that will do the basics and will hopefully function properly and have pics once checked. I realize there are always going to be a few duds out there, perhaps more so with the entry-level models. What can you recommend from less than $100?

Great, thanks. I was just about to ask about the software. A quick look on Amazon shows a great price, but a lot of negative reviews with the focus being on the included software. I'm somewhat computer savvy so I'll certainly keep this one in mind. Thanks for the suggestion and links!

The old saying of:
"Buying cheap merchandise to save money is, like stopping a clock to save time"

From years of dealing with price cheap equipment only resulted in a lot of head aches, missed pics, no pic, error issues, dead cameras etc.

I realize the budget plays a major role in your decision here and agree completely. Crummy camera's that are not reliable is like throwing that budgeted $$$ right in the trash can.

I go with the experience with trail camera's as their priced that cheap for a reason. Good luck with the ones you chose and post those images for us to see also. beers

Not looking for cheap. Looking for basic. I don't need ultra high definition that will beam pics to the smartphone I don't have. That said, I may be posting in a couple months how I beat the cam to death with a log.
